Reviews

Samsung BD-C6900

Samsung's got a range of new 3D TVs on offer, but there's not much point in getting one without its companion 3D Blu-ray player.
Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (Intel Atom N450)

Dell's basic netbook adds better battery life and the newest Intel Atom CPU, and robust configuration options add a level of flexibility many other netbooks lack.
Sony Vaio VPCL118FG/B

Sony's all-in-one PC isn't cheap and it could do with more storage, but otherwise it's a highly attractive option for those who crave simplicity.
Sony Vaio VPCCW15FG

Sony's latest vibrant Vaio has plenty of grunt, but nowhere near enough power.
Toshiba BDX2000 Blu-ray Player

Toshiba's BDX2000 Blu-ray player is a little light on features, but offers great picture and audio quality at an affordable price.
Denon S-5BD

The Denon S-5BD is an integrated Blu-ray home theatre system and one of the first to support the new HDMI 1.4 standard.
Samsung HT-BD8200

The Samsung HT-BD8200 not only offers a likeable and easy to set-up home cinema system, it also offers audio and video of a higher standard than the price lets on.
Kogan Blu-ray Player BD 2.0

The renewed Kogan Blu-ray player is a bargain, with many of the niceties of much more expensive players but you can't expect video precision for the price.
